Shivering with a little chill, a question of wonder popped into Namjoon's head for the umpteenth time this afternoon. Why does Hoseok have the temperature set so low?

The temperature in their shared apartment wasn't actually too low, but it was low enough to give Namjoon the occasional chill. They normally had it set a little higher, maybe by just a few degrees.

Namjoon wanted to turn the temperature up a little to be more comfortable, but he figured Hoseok must have turned it down this afternoon for a reason, whatever that reason may be. Still, it had been giving him small chills, and they would be going to bed soon. Wouldn't it be better to have a more comfortable temperature for bedtime?

"Hoseokie." Namjoon made his way to their bedroom to find Hoseok already in his pajamas, getting the bed ready, adjusting the blankets and pillows the way they liked them."Would you mind if I turn the temperature up a little now?"

Looking over at Namjoon with a smile, Hoseok knew exactly how he wanted tonight to go."Please don't. I have it set this way for a reason."

"What's the reason?" Namjoon wondered, cocking his head ever-so-slightly to the left.

"Well, you and I have both felt too hot whenever we cuddle for long periods of time, especially if we cuddle under the blankets," Hoseok explained."I turned the temperature down a little so that we can cuddle under the blankets tonight without getting too hot."

That reason made sense to Namjoon and caused a bashful smile to spread over his lips."You made me freeze all afternoon just so we can cuddle more tonight?"

"You didn't freeze," Hoseok said with a chuckle."Now get in bed. It's cuddle time."

Namjoon couldn't argue. He loved cuddling with Hoseok, and it made him happy to know that Hoseok wanted to get more cuddles than usual tonight. He was swift to change into his pajamas and turn off the light. Once ready, Namjoon got onto the bed and situated himself beneath the blankets.

"Doesn't this feel better already?" Hoseok cuddled against Namjoon beneath the blankets, feeling rather pleased with himself and his decision to lower the temperature a small bit.

"Yes, it does." Wrapping his arms around Hoseok, Namjoon relaxed and knew he could possibly cuddle Hoseok all night.

As it grew silent in their bedroom, Hoseok's eyes fell closed; he could feel himself drifting to sleep. However, his eyes snapped back open, and he whined as he could feel something cold on his legs."Stop that~ Your feet are cold~"

Namjoon giggled, his feet pressed to Hoseok's legs."But your legs are so warm."

Pouting, Hoseok lifted one leg just enough for Namjoon to put his feet in place comfortably, tolerating the coldness between his shins."I deserve maximum cuddles for this."

"Maximum cuddles all night." The warmth on Namjoon's feet was nothing compared to the warmth in his chest when Hoseok snuggled against him more. The chills and cold feet were worth the payoff of better cuddles.
